That size isn't too bad, Ball Pythons like small spaces. They generally live around 20 years if they're in good health.

If you feel you have the money to upgrade and want to id go with either a 30 breeder or a 40 breeder. I have my 3 footer in 33 long which is same as a 55 only a foot tall, not a bad choice either but you still dont get the width like you do from the breeder tanks.
